On the Ice

96 minutes — To Be Announced, DV, Andrew MacLean, United States, 2012

OTTAWA PREMIERE | BEST DEBUT FEATURE, BERLIN INT’L FILM FESTIVAL 2011

Three teenage friends leave on a seal-hunting trip. Only two come back. That’s the deceptively simple set up for this this “uncommonly involving thriller” (Roger Ebert) set in in the native Inupiat community of Barrow, Alaska. Cold as ice and sharp as the winter sun, this is noir that cracks under your feet. Tread carefully.
